Workshop Description
In this workshop we are going to make our own shell gold. This process is a bit "boring" as it takes a good 2 hours to make it. But I am going to show you the basics for you to watch and understand the method. In addition, I shall post the recipe for the "Making of Shell Gold" This image posted here for this class shows the shell gold in the trim of the hats or crowns of the Kings as well as some gold grisaille. Additionally, I will demonstrate just how I use shell gold both in an illuminated letter as well as the embroidery on a king's coat or the crown. I will also demonstrate the method of "gold grisaille" which is a shading over the shell gold. This is a wonderful skill to use to "up your game", so to speak!
